Obituary of Patricia Queripel

Patricia Queripel (nee Manning) age 64, Bridgeton, NJ, passed away on March 17th 2021. Patricia was born in New York City, New York, on August 16, 1956. She was married to Ronald B. Queripel on August 21, 1976. She graduated from Cumberland County College and received an Associates of Applied Science in Nursing in 1987. She has worked at Inspira for 41 years, most recently as a registered nurse in the Access Center as a Healthcare Concierge. For the last year she worked 7 days a week to make sure employees have had the results of their COVID tests. She was a dedicated nurse and always wanted the best for her patients. Before her passing in 2017, Pat enjoyed spending time with her mom shopping, traveling, and in the later days, taking care of her and ensuring all of her needs were met. Pat truly lived life to the fullest. She took immeasurable joy from combining her two favorite things, family and travel. She and Ron took their daughters and their families away on a special trip every year. In 2019, the family was fortunate to go away to Europe, including two of her favorite places, Italy and Greece. As soon as she was home from one trip, she would begin planning another. She and Ron have taken many cruises, and particularly loved Bermuda. She loved having family dinners. Her daughters and grandchildren were her world, and there is nothing that she wouldn’t have done for them. Pat’s daughters were as much her best friends as they were her children. Lisa followed in Mom’s footsteps to become a fantastic nurse, and Chris and Amy have been amazing educators for the past decade. They will forever miss their Mommy, best friend, and travel buddy. She is survived by siblings Rose, Diane, Michael, and Gina; children Christine, Lisa (James), and Amy (Michael); grandchildren Gabrielle, Alicea, Ryan, and Mason. She is predeceased by her mother Diane Calabrese and brother Anthony.
